Mark,

Yes, I am looking at implementing XPDF, but I need to really build it on
a test server--just need the time to get it up and running. This is a little
more involved that just a config file.

If XPDF really solves some of the memory and heap dump problems,
should it (XPDF) be implemented as default, instead of the default PDFBox that comes
out-of-the-box with DSpace at some point?  (Hint, DSpace 2.0)

Jeff,

Have you looked at all into using the XPDF Filter instead, it requires
some native configuration, but if you have xpdf on your system, you
may be able to get past these errors.

I've had a large number of PDF's that are not processed by filter- media.
 One in particular caused me a heap dump.
I instituted the -s flag in filter-media with a file that lists, separated
by a comma.  The file seems to be ignored by the
program.  So what's what here?
./filter-media -s 'less /irmaag/filter_skiplist.txt' is the command I am
using.
It looks if I took the list and added it manually to the end of the -s flag
1989/8745,1989/8747 ad nauseam, it
"seems to work". BUT, is there a particular order these need to be in? It
looks like I need to have them in the
order that filter media expects them in.
When I look at the results, id's that appear in the list early on, but
filter media hasn't come across are ignored.  In
other words, if it looks at the list and the first number on the list isn't
matched, nor the next 5, but then it finds a match,
it skips the match. If those first 5 numbers now appear, it ignores the
skiplist for those numbers and you get
the annual ERROR filter messages. So, my assumption is that I must have
that skiplist in the exact order as they
appear in the output.
We are running 1.5.2.  Any thoughts or ideas?
TIA,
